'Belonging is only possible with radical equality'.

A thoughtful and powerful article on how the NPP's victory is viewed from the margins of electoral power.

Throwing that piece of wood in the end is a bit reminiscent of Refaat’s words that he’d resist with an expo marker if it was the last thing he did. Struggle till the end, and an end attained through continuous struggle.

Ranil didn’t step up. He hijacked the presidency. Kept the Rajapaksas and their corrupt MPs safe and delayed democratic elections for two years. RW is one of the worst, self serving politicians in SL.

History should remember him for the failure he is.

also regular reminder that the hundreds of thousands of migrant workers that keep Sri Lanka’s economy afloat do not have the right/a mechanism to vote in national elections, and have to bear the brunt of bad policy and political economic mess that has led to a worthless rupee.

Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.

He tried to make the world listen to the voice of the suffering, but now he is silenced

Evern after losing his brother, he courageously stayed behind, covering the events in northern Gaza. He portrayed the destruction caused by the Occupation forces, the famine and fires.

“Without Ismail, the world would not have seen the devastating images of these massacres,” said one of his Friends

Journalist Ismail Al-Ghoul along with his cameraman, Rami al-Refee, were martyred today by a targeted Israeli air strike, as they were reporting on the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh

[Mena @mena_ishere]

None of the people complaining about Imane Khalif actually care about women’s sports, but they suddenly pretend to care when it gives them a chance to be as nasty and discriminatory as they want to be. Pathetic lot.

[bella 🏆 @dreamgirlfc]

this obsession with testosterone levels in female athletes is insane - nobody questions the fact that michael phelps has an obscenely long wingspan or double the lung capacity of a normal person because in men's sport it's accepted that people have different physical advantages

[jonny is fed up with Yank Nonsense @sensiblehuman96]

Yeah they’ve got a natural advantage - that’s one of the reasons why they’re very good at sport and have made it to the Olympics, an event celebrating elite athletes.

[jonny is fed up with Yank Nonsense @sensiblehuman96]

Banning female athletes for having naturally high levels of testosterone is like banning basketball players for being too tall.

As Sri Lanka won the Asia Cup on Sunday, cricket felt like a sport that belonged to more of Sri Lanka than it ever has before.

This isn't just repression, or discrimination.

This is active disdain for people's suffering, from a deeply insecure state.

On Feb 5th, Ports Authority officials told the Galle Face isso vadai vendors they couldn't operate their carts along the seafront anymore. They say it's gotten crowded with unauthorised vendors but vendors with passes who have sold there for decades are also blocked. (1/6) #lka

We've sadly received no suitable calls for him.

Rexi was being deliberately starved by his owners when our friends at Dogs of Ella rescued him. He is a happy spirited dog who loves the company of people and animals.

Call us on 0777449729 to adopt Rexi!
